Costa Rico

A Central-American country where dey really crack down on organized crime.
Pablo Escobar's empire may have extended into many equator-region countries, but it appears dat Costa Rico was one dat WASN'T exactly tolerant of his shady shenanigans --- not too long ago, they actually deported several members of his family, saying dat they were harmful to da nation's security.

Even with modern manufacturing technology, most ordinary cloth items still need to be assembled with needle-and-thread work, so da disappearance of sewciety as we know it should not be happening anytime soon.

aspursions

Negative opinions/statements expressed against a horseman because he wears wagon-wheel-like discs with pointed spokes on his boots.
If you don't want animal-rights activists and humane-treatment advocates to cast aspursions on you whenever they see you on horseback, you should avoid attaching metal rowls to your equestrian footwear.

A few simple "no brainer" rules that, if we'd all follow them, would make posting/reading paper ads/notices a much more pleasant and peaceable experience for everyone involved.
The "perfect five" rules of community bulletin-board etiquette:
(1) Each poster should be limited to one message per board, unless he is posting two or more "unrelated" ads/notices.
(2) Notices should be a maximum size of an 8-1/2X11 sheet of paper --- don't selfishly hog a whole gigantic portion of board-space with those 0%!$&@# huge-a** blaze-orange/fuchsia/chartreuse banner-sheets from da Dollar Tree's art-paper bin!
(3) Only attach notices to a blank portion of the board --- don't imperiously plaster your poster over everyone else's, regardless of whether you think your message is so much more all-fired important! If there’s insufficient room, make at least a half-a** effort to solve the problem rationally/fairly --- shift other people's sheets around on the board to form a "tighter" grouping, seek out and remove any "obsolete" (event-dates that have already passed) messages, etc.
(4) Don’t use the last “empty” thumbtack/pushpin on the board, or snitch one from someone else’s page! If the supply of available fasteners is running low, add a few tacks/pins of your own! Plus if you see someone else’s poster dangling/flapping by just one corner, pin it back up again.
(5) Choose a spot on the board that’s appropriate to your ad’s subject/urgency. If it’s about a lost/found valuable, super-important event, or desperately-needed item, place the ad near the center of the board. But if it’s merely a “for sale” ad or general notice, place it near the board's top/bottom/sides.

Glock 'n' spiel

Not to be confused with the old-fashioned xylophone-like instrument, this term refers to Madea's lengthy "gettin'-getter-got" monologue to Dr. Phil. in which she says she'll "get my Glock" if "the gotters get me".
Dr. Phil totally didn't know how to handle Madea after her rambling "Glock 'n' spiel", and so he told her retinue that they'd have to "get someone else to treat her --- I'm done".

to-do list

A sheet of household tasks dat one or more people make a huge noisy fuss regarding.
Any written collection of disagreeable jobs can very easily become a to-do list with either da labor-requesters or da unfortunate workers, since either said foremen might become upset dat said activities aren't being performed quickly and/or well enough, or said laborers detest having to expend da time/effort/brain-power to complete said drudgeries.
